I
WALKING IN THE GOSPEL LIGHT THAT SHINES,
CAREFUL AS I GO ONE STEP AT A TIME.
CLINGING TO A PRAYER AND HOLDING TO A HAND
THAT I CAN'T SEE.
LISTENING FOR THE MASTER'S VOICE TO SAY,
COME A LITTLE HIGHER TO THE LAND OF DAY.
STANDING ON THE PROMISES AND GIVING ME CONFIDENCE
I HAVE HOPE.
II
WELL I HEARD ABOUT HEAVEN AND I WANT TO GO,
THERE'S NOTHING TO KEEP ME HERE BELOW.
MY EYES ARE SET ON MANSIONS BRIGHT I GLORYLAND.
WELL IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TO THE PEARLY GATES,
JUST TURN TO THE RIGHT AND KEEP A GOING STRAIGHT.
WHEN MY JOURNEY ENDS WILL MEET AGAIN,
I HAVE HOPE.
CHORUS
I HAVE HOPE (there's a land that's better)
I HAVE HOPE (where the soul lives on)
I HAVE HOPE (that the sun shines brighter)
IN THAT LAND.
WALKING BY FAITH I'LL REACH MY GOAL,
OVER THE HILLS SEE THE LIGHTS OF HOME.
MY CROWN IS WON AND MY RACE IS RUN,
I HAVE HOPE.
